Actor Denis Quaid got the lead role in Pandorum, an upcoming sci-fi horror movie directed by Christian Alvart. Take a look to those new pictures of Pandorum:

Plot:
“Two astronauts wake to find themselves drifting through space and with no memory of who they are. They believe that they must be the only ones aboard the spacecraft, but can hear sounds coming from its center. Exploring the spacecraft, they encounter several other surviving crewmembers, and the astronauts start to learn that a terrible event has occurred on board which might affect the survival of the entire human race.”

Denis Quaid must be a Star Trek fan: on that Pandorum picture above, he looks like William Shatner’s Kirk on the bridge of the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise!

The Weinstein Company has announced that a third Halloween movie will be produced for next year. Also, Halloween 3 will jump into the 3D bandwagon, but without Rob Zombie. The director won’t be returning for this third opus of a franchise he brought back to life…

The second Halloween movie did not meet expectations… Here’s Mike Myers’ answer to those who were disappointed by the film and who bad-mouthed it:

He’s quite pissed off, so in 2010, with the movie Halloween 3, he’s gonna slash us all in 3D as a revenge!

AN EDUCATION
Plot:
“In the post-war, pre-Beatles London suburbs, a bright schoolgirl (Carey Mulligan) is torn between studying for a place at Oxford and the rather more exciting alternative offered to her by a charismatic older man (Peter Sarsgaard). ”

Young people want it all right now, that’s nothing new, but you have to work hard to get that!
